The Munch Museum opened in 1963 and was purpose-built to house this unique collection of approximately 1100 paintings, 4500 drawings and 18 000 prints. Major works will always be on display in the museum. The selection is changed regularly.The museum's programme also comprises film screenings, audioguides, concerts, guided tours and lectures.
